Someone I send mail to has informed me that my messages to him get
filtered as spam because the headers lack a "FROM:" line. Well, they
don't, but it's a few lines ahead of the "TO:" line. Here's an example:

From - Tue Oct 16 21:13:33 2001
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000
Message-ID: <3BCD056B.1A44316B@gte.net>

[message body]

All the messages I receive have a "FROM:" line immediately before the
"TO:" line. Is there anything I can or should do about this? Is his
spam filter too picky? As the header shows, I'm using Netscape 4.61
(latest refresh I think).

Thanks,
Ben Archer
